Estimated number of local ORS Manufacturers: unknown
Is Zinc classified as an ‘over the counter’ medicine?: unknown

Is ORS/Zinc mentioned in the Ministry of Health’s strategy?: unknown
Strength of ColaLife’s contact network (0=weak, 5=strong): 1

Notes:Ghana has a population of 24 million but a relatively low level of child mortality (6.0%) when compared with other African countries. However, it might prove to be an early win for ColaLife to engage with, based on the level of development and the ‘ease of doing business’ here.
